Well i checked everything twice added brad penn oil new anti-freeze and some high test gas hooked up a new battery and hit the switch;only took a few cranks and she started ;i had it set at 10 before top dead center let it run at 2000 RPM and began looking for leaks low and behold i found a couple of spots dripping anti-freeze one was simple around the thermostat but the 2ed one looks like its comming from the head gasket right behind the exhaust near the firewall ; i'm not very happy right now so i need some opinons ; a quick summery of my motor- head newly rebuilt to stage 1 by PRI 10-1 COM.motor bored 30 over; the block was decked so i'm thinking its not that; but i am going to re-torqe the head and check the head gasket i used a payen gasket - also i have the quad carb set up from PRI has anyone here had problems with these any advise is welcome .
